There's also Will Grier — the nation's No. 2 recruit in UF's class of 2014 — on the roster.

If there's a Danny Wuerffel hiding in the Gainesville bushes, McElwain apparently will find him.

Florida is paying Coach Mac $21 million to turn water into Gatorade, so maybe he will recruit a stud passer or transform one already on scholarship.

McElwain is glib, has good hair and teeth and was a quarterback himself at Eastern Washington. Those are enough assets to make UF fans giddy about him being the second coming of Steve Spurrier as the Son of Fun 'n Gun.

He wouldn't be replacing Muschamp if the Gators' offense had had a pulse or, ahem, better quarterbacking. McElwain did marvelous things at Colorado State, transforming the once-punchless Rams into an entertaining scoring machine.

There's hope, and hopefully, more touchdowns if Coach Mac also can piece together an offensive line.

McElwain doesn't have to walk outside Florida Field to view statues of The Three Heisman Wise Men — Spurrier, Wuerffel and Tim Tebow — to be reminded what has been missing.

Big Mac's track record should attract hot-shot prep stars. He knows you need a QB today who can make big plays, especially in the fourth quarter.

One College Football Playoff semifinal featured the last two Heisman Trophy winners — FSU's Jameis Winston and Oregon's Marcus Mariota. Winston might be locked out of the Heisman House after that performance. Mariota better enjoy the moment considering he might be serving a sentence with the Tampa Bay Bucs as the No. 1 NFL draft pick.

Mariota leads the Ducks' Quack Attack into the national championship game against Ohio State, which has enough quarterbacks to equip several teams. The Buckeyes are humming along with their third-stringer after injuries knocked out the first two. If Urban Meyer needs another he'll probably just suit up a tuba player who dots the "i" in Ohio.

Gatordom doesn't know whom McElwain will choose, but it won't be Jeff Driskel.

McElwain apparently informed the former Oviedo Hagerty High star that he wouldn't be running the triple option. Driskel will transfer to Louisiana Tech, where he will look for a happily ever after.

That leaves Harris and/or Grier to win the job, as far as we know.

Harris took over for Driskel when turnovers mounted. Harris might have enough promise to satisfy McElwain, but he wasn't exactly given a green light to throw when Muschamp was trying to save his job. He had his moments in Florida's Birmingham Bowl win.

Whether Grier, also the son of a coach, can gain McElwain's trust remains to be seen. He put up ridiculous numbers as a high school star in North Carolina. When he decided on UF, Grier tweeted, "I am committed to the university of Florida!! If you ain't a gator your gator bait!!"
